Would you?

[Zeo]

Good question...

Since I'm a pantheist, I already believe I am God. We are all God, all part of the One. But this isn't anything at all like saying I have control over specific things, that this girl typing is the God of Snow or the God of Reality. It's a different concept of God.

It's like saying that God cannot be separated from the things that God "created." I am an aspect of God experiencing Godself, just as a tree, a jellyfish, and a river are aspects of God experiencing Godself. I am God, but I am no more or less God than anything else.

So in that aspect, yes. ^^ But if you mean more like a Greek god, "god of such-and-such," then...umm...I don't think so. I wouldn't mind having some kind of powers, like control of fire or wind or something, but I wouldn't want to be a god of anything. That'd be too much pressure. Lol.

Naw, I'm comfortable with my underling status.

 

[KalithAlur]

according to the pole, most people want to become a god

 

[quatona]

If you had the oppurtunity to become a god, would you?

Depends on the salary.
Then, they say gods are chick magnets.

If you are a God, can't you pretty much set your own salary? That or tax/tithe your believers.

Depends on what sort of god we are talking about.

I voted "no," because I'm more of second-in-command type. High Priestess, maybe, but only of a cool deity -- like the Goddess of Chocolate.

Though if I could get some Trappist monks to brew beer in my name, I might consider a position in Upper Management.

 

[Pogue]

Only if it involved coffee, somehow.

 

[StarCannon]

Nice.

 

[Catholicon]

Sure. Why not?

 

[FaithLikeARock]

Nope.

Unless I magically loose all psychotic control factors of my personality, I wouldn't. It'd only last a week before my followers are ready to impeach me.

 

[StarCannon]

Interesting reasons so far.

Hmm... a goddess of chocolate? I dunno, tempting. I'd have to be a goddess of sharp and pointy things. *drools* All warriors would call on ME to bless their knives! Mwahahahahaha!

 

[""]

No.

 

[Celticflower]

I can barely handle being wife, mother and dog/cat owner/staff let alone a god. The 6 beings making demands on me now are more than enough, thanks.

As long as it doesn't look like it would turn into a Bruce Almighty situation, sure.

It could be lonely without a goddess, though.

I don't know why everyone is so worried about added responsibility. It appears that being a deity does not require actually responding to prayer, or taking a hand in earthly matters.

You just sit back and absorb the adulation, and if you feel like granting a request or two, you do it; otherwise you just let your priests and sycophants give your followers some dreck about it not being your plan for their prayers to be granted.

Be like Zeus and have affairs with mortal women on the side.

 

[Apollo Celestio]

I like the idea of not dying, but not so much the idea of ruling.

 

[NPH]

Just so long as I don't have to be the Oh-God-of-Hangovers, sure thing

How about the God of Long Vacations At The Beach? That one sounds pretty nice.

Can you imagine all the petitions you'd get from the US?
